Actually I’ve fallen a long way behind on posting these, so this will be one of a series of “catch-up” posts. I’m going to keep them relatively short for ease of skimming.
I started Litchfield County a while back, and here’s the beginning of the people I’ve found:
Barkhamsted – 24 census pages. 11 nonwhite persons in 6 households, 3 of them nonwhite:
Elias Sales 3
Jacob Story 3
Harry Moore 1
Bethlehem is next, with 12 census pages and 19 nonwhite people in 11 households, 2 of them nonwhite:
George Chatfield 3
Stephen Jackson 5
Next is Canaan, with 30 census pages. 51 individuals in 22 households, 7 of them nonwhite.
Ceaser Jackson 2

Joel Robbins 6
Francis Wooster 6

Colebrook had 20 census pages. 10 nonwhite people in 8 households, including one nonwhite family: Abraham Plato and his (presumed) wife and son.
So we go on to Cornwall and its 22 census pages. 32 people in 15 households, 5 of them nonwhite.
